      Comments about Atlas 1230 Snowshoes:

      i've never had snow shoes but i've done a ton of winter and summer sports, at any rate i've done lots of research to find the pros and cons of snowshoes in general. i never had one single problem that i've found reference to. the only problem i had was getting up with a 30lb pack and a dog attached to my waist in 4 feet of powder(fyi poles saved my life, sturdy poles at that)any way, my 2 favorite things about these is it supports my weight ( i'm over 250 with out gear, and the floatation on these was very impresive the second is the bindings. i live in anchorage alaska where we can get amazing powder or wet sticky icy snow that clogs clams and zippers and never once did i have an issue getting in or out of these bindings. to be honest i couldn't have asked for a better peice of equipment thanks.

        Comments about Atlas 1230 Snowshoes:

        These shoes shine in rugged off camber terrain. On my most recent outing my kids and I hiked a steep narrow canyon in Norther Utah with a seep spring running down the bottom. Much of the hiking was steep and off camber on the side hills and technical log and boulder hopping in the bottom of the canyon. We even had to climb an ice covered wooden ladder. The snow depth varied from bare ground/creek bed to 16". The crampons worked to perfection, in fact my son mentioned that he stumbles and slips much more when hiking in boots. The decking seems durable, as I have overstepped in several technical situations with no noticeable damage to the deck.
        I have 4 sets of Atlas and 2 sets of MSR in my family. I have the 1230's and my 18 year old son and 13 year old daughter have 1225's. My wife has 1023 Electra's.
        I have now made several excursions on these shoes and I am extremely impressed. I have used nearly every major name brand. While they all have their strengths, I feel that the Atlas shoes are the best.
        I have used these shoes in nearly every terrain from deep powder to hard pack. I hesitated getting the 1230 as agility is more important to me than flotation but at 6' 5" 230lbs I figured I would play it safe. I am not disappointed. My 13 year old daughter also has no problems manuevering in the 1225's
        The bindings are outstanding. The key is to set the heel loop properly and leave it alone. I have not had to make a single adjustment or stop to tighten the bindings yet and I have been on a few hikes in the 3 to 5 hour range.
        My only caution is in ordering the 1225's. Make sure you actually do get 1225's and not 1230's as we received the 1230's twice by accident even though the order and packaging and everything else said they were 1230's.

          I bought a pair of these for my husband and we tried them out yesterday. We have snowshoed for about twenty years have various make and models. None even compare to these. The binding is what is so fantastic. Most binding are a pain to get on adjust and keep on. These are on and adjusted in seconds. My son and I want some now. We have not tried them on icy or crusty snow. However, I don’t foresee a problem. The perfect snowshoe!
